New Names...

Just letting you all know the book formally known as:

Windblown Kisses 

My Knight in Tarnished Armour. 

Has been given a new series and book name:

The Connelly Chronicles

Family Connections.

Filling In The Blanks...

Today I'm still doing first round edits on Windblown Kisses: My Knight In Tarnished Armour which may or may not be about to have a name and series name change - My editor Jamie R and I talked and we're both in agreeance that this title may give people the impression that is a historical book when in fact it is modern day - I'll have to let you know what we decide.

I'm still trying my hardest to keep up with everything else... failing a little... but nothing I can't make up the ground in between editing rounds. I have a plan and I just need to stick to it... How hard can it be?

Crazy Busy...

Got first round of edits on Windblown Kisses: My Knight In Tarnished Armour... scary but I'll try and get them done right. (This picture of Jonathan Rhys Meyers is how I picture Ray Connelly). Hopefully I may have cover artwork to share with you soon.

Still no news on the next round of edits for Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse from Steve L - last communication was we're nearly to the next step in the editing phase which is exciting - hopefully have cover artwork for this soon as well.

I'm still doing the last read-through of The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows. I'm not changing much just mainly taking out the unnecessary words and checking time lines.

Also trying to keep up with the tree other current projects (The Lines of Marsden: You Make Me Die In Pieces - Lancaster's Way: A Different Way Of Seeing - Preternatural High: Welcome To My World) though, they'll be placed on hold until my edits go back to Jamie R.

Just A Quicky.

Somebody slap me now - Why is it when I do the final read-through before submitting I always have the incessant need to change things? Because I'm a dumbarse that's why.

The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows is the one I'm doing one final read-through... I should have just left it alone. Now I'll have to put off subbing for the the next week or so...

Hopefully I won't change the story in doing so. I was trying to make the characters come to life just a little more. Make the Characters three dimensional instead of two... Let's hope everyone else agrees with the changes I've made.

Rambling On Writing.

Sometimes I have to wonder about my own mind...  when the lines between the stories in my head and the real world sometimes blur... and why my family still put up with me. I've been with my hubs for over ten years. Yet, in the last 5 years since I started taking my writing seriously the poor guy very rarely gets called by his own name. while writing the first Lines of Marsden book he became Christian and in the current one he's answering to Doyle. All I can say is thank God the guy loves me.

He's gone by many names... Christian, Doyle, Kayne, Ren, Knox, Dalar, Liam, Charlie, Damon, Kylfa, Jericho, and so on and so forth - that I thought maybe I should pay him homage and say - that in fact his real name is Steve. In the beginning some people thought I was having an affair, and my dear sweet Hubs says, "Nah, she writes gay porn." I'd just like to point out that I do not, nor have I ever written porn - I write M/M Romance.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way I will talk about what my plans are... 

1. The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows is on the final read through before I submit it to MLR... 
2. I'm up to date on my writing time lines for - The Lines of Marsden: You Make Me Die In Pieces - Lancaster's Way: A Different Way Of Seeing - Preternatural High: Welcome To My World. (Still trying to get as much done as possible before I get more edits on Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse - Windblown Kisses: My Knight In Tarnished Armour - By The Way).
3. Decided that for NaNoWriMo this year I will work on two novella's instead of one story. I'm thinking they'll be - Toowoomba Boys: Dancing With Demons - The Soul Guardians: Loving Callum McKenzie. So I have set them aside so I don't work on them until November.
4. I've just ordered swag for OzmmMeet in Sydney this year - I think Em's picking it up today from the post office.
5. Also planning on not letting people use the office for a dumping ground for what gets left on the kitchen bench... I've set up a tray for the stuff and if no one claims the stuff within a week then Mr Wheelie Bin gets to keep it. I finally have the place set up how I want it, and I don't need no bad cluttered mojo in my space. It's bad enough I own a cluttered mind let alone it spilling over into my office.

The only thing I need for all this to work is coffee and lots of it... I'm also trying to stick to my - shut down the computer by 2pm each day... so far in the last 6 months I've only broken that rule twice... and I'm also sticking to having - one day each weekend where I don't get on the computer at all... that one's harder to stick to.

So It Begins...Again.

Well, I ended one story and started right into the next three... there's a method to my madness - I swear. I'm merely trying to get as much writing done as I can before I get hit with edits on the three I've already subbed and got contracts for.

Yeah, I'll probably be running on lack of sleep for awhile... So I may be rambling on here a lot. But hey, I figure it's my blog so I can. I know, I know, you already know I've a tendency to ramble & rant - Gives a whole new meaning to R & R now doesn't it?

Next three in the writing line.
